IMPACT factor (Citation analysis) ,CITATION analysis ,COMPUTER science ,SCIENTIFIC literature ,RESEARCH evaluation ,CONFERENCES & conventions - Abstract
The article presents the results of a study which investigated the correlation between the acceptance rate and impact rating of conference papers in the field of computer science. The papers with the highest impact ratings were found to be associated with highly selective conferences, defined as those which rejected between 70 and 85 percent of papers submitted. Such papers, on average, had higher impact ratings than papers which were published in journals without being presented at conferences. A rejection rate of 85 percent or more tended to suppress submission levels and reduce impact factors, while an acceptance rate over 30 percent was associated with less prestigious conferences.

The article discusses the status of research papers published by computer science (CS) conferences, as compared with those published in CS journals. Debate has occurred in relation to the proper way in which to qualify the research presented in a paper. Problems exist in determining the quality of research in various journals due to the wide array of publication opportunities available. A scale that has been created to measure the quality of conference papers in a variety of ways, such as citations and rejection rates, is discussed.

7. The Health of Research Conferences and the Dearth of Big Idea Papers.

Patterson, David A.

COMPUTER science ,COMPUTER scientists ,RESEARCH - Abstract
This article reports that research conferences are often the most desirable venues for presenting research results. For academic computer scientists and engineers, preferring conferences over journals is so common that they even lobby administrators to ensure that conference papers can be viewed in the same light as journal papers in other fields. Hence, the health of conferences is vital to the computer science research mission. One conventional indication of health is the number of submissions and the acceptance rate at the conference. Calls for papers often include encouraging words for big idea or new direction papers. The problem is that reviewers see so many regular papers it is just too difficult to switch gears and be more understanding when evaluating bolder papers with holes in arguments or missing measurements. Program committees typically start with a ranked list of papers based on the average of numerical ratings in order to cope with the large number of submissions. Big idea papers are sure to get some poor evaluations, which cause them to drop down the list.

8. SELF-PLAGIARISM IN COMPUTER SCIENCE.

COMPUTER training ,PLAGIARISM ,COMPUTER science ,INTERNET in education ,REPORT writing ,COPYRIGHT infringement - Abstract
The article presents information on self-plagiarism in computer science. Students submit assignments inherited from their friends, online paper-mills provide term papers on popular topics, and occasionally researchers are found falsifying data or publishing the work of others as their own. Self-plagiarism occurs when authors reuse portions of their previous writings in subsequent research papers. Occasionally, the derived paper is simply a retitled and reformatted version of the original one, but more frequently it is assembled from bits and pieces of previous work. Incorporating texts or ideas from previously published work while unaware of the existence of that work. Incorporating texts or ideas from previously published work when writing to a community different from that in which the original work was published. Missing from the ACM and IEEE policy documents is any discussion of what the consequences of ignoring the rules and guidelines might be and whose responsibility it is to prevent plagiarized and self-plagiarized papers from being published. In contrast, most university course syllabi address the definition of plagiarism and who will look for it, as well as its potential consequences.

The effective operation of free enterprise in creating the envisioned information service industry is dependent on three accomplishments: 1. The restructuring of our information processing industry to provide a clear separation among costs for computing, communications, and the development of information services. 2. The wide use of multi-access system concepts so that information services may share in the use of computer installations, and so their cost of construction is reasonable. 3. The development of public, message-switched communications services with adaquate provisions for information security.

The article presents information on a research paper related to computer programming and debugging, which won an award in the 1981 George E. Forsythe Student Paper Competition. The research paper "A Program Testing Assistant," by David Chapman, a graduate student, was selected because of its original and incisive research into program development and debugging. The competition memorializes George E. Forsythe, president of the Association for Computing Machinery from 1964 to 1966, and leader in the development of computer science as a separate discipline. Chapman will receive a cash award of 500 dollars and a certificate. The papers of the first competition were refereed and judged by a committee of graduate students. The tradition has continued, with each competition administered by the graduate students at a major university with the assistance of a faculty advisor. For 1981, it was a committee of graduate students in computer science at Cornell University, New York, with professor David J. Gries serving as faculty advisor.

COMPUTER programming ,COMPUTERS in lexicography ,ALGORITHMS ,DATA structures ,COMPUTER science - Abstract
The Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) is an invertible text transformation that permutes symbols of a text according to the lexicographical order of its suffixes. BWT is the main component of popular lossless compression programs (such as bzip2) as well as recent powerful compressed indexes (such as the r-index
7 ), central in modern bioinformatics. The compressibility of BWT is quantified by the number r of equal-letter runs in the output. Despite the practical significance of BWT, no nontrivial upper bound on r is known. By contrast, the sizes of nearly all other known compression methods have been shown to be either always within a polylog n factor (where n is the length of the text) from z, the size of Lempel--Ziv (LZ77) parsing of the text, or much larger in the worst case (by an nε factor for ε > 0). In this paper, we show that r = O (z log² n) holds for every text. This result has numerous implications for text indexing and data compression; in particular: (1) it proves that many results related to BWT automatically apply to methods based on LZ77, for example, it is possible to obtain functionality of the suffix tree in O (z polylog n) space; (2) it shows that many text processing tasks can be solved in the optimal time assuming the text is compressible using LZ77 by a sufficiently large polylog n factor; and (3) it implies the first nontrivial relation between the number of runs in the BWT of the text and of its reverse. In addition, we provide an O (z polylog n)-time algorithm converting the LZ77 parsing into the run-length compressed BWT. To achieve this, we develop several new data structures and techniques of independent interest. In particular, we define compressed string synchronizing sets (generalizing the recently introduced powerful technique of string synchronizing sets11) and show how to efficiently construct them. Next, we propose a new variant of wavelet trees for sequences of long strings, establish a nontrivial bound on their size, and describe efficient construction algorithms. Finally, we develop new indexes that can be constructed directly from the LZ77 parsing and efficiently support pattern matching queries on text substrings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

There are a number of alternative tools and methods for building and designing information systems for organizational use. Each tool or design alternative has its advocates. Benefits and advantages are proposed or claimed; little empirical evidence is presented. The two selected papers from the 1985 International Conference on Information Systems (Indianapolis, December 15-18) present empirical laboratory experiments to provide evidence as to tools and design alternatives. The first paper by Dickson, DeSanctis, and McBride describes three experiments to compare traditional tabular presentation with graphic presentation. The experiments are designed to build cumulative research results around the issue of the task the reader of the information is to perform upon receiving the information. The second paper by Vessey and Weber provides experimental evidence comparing methods for documenting a problem: decision tree, decision table, and structured English. The three methods are frequently presented as alternatives; the experiments compare them. Two studies do not settle an issue as complex as comparison of alternative tools and methods: they begin to provide the evidence needed. They also illustrate one well-established research approach—the laboratory experiment. The advantage of laboratory experiments is the control that can be obtained; field studies and experience of practitioners can be understood more fully in the context of such laboratory results.

The International Conference on Information Systems provides an annual forum for keeping abreast of the latest trends and developments in IS research. The conference is sponsored by the TIMS College on Information Systems and the Society for Information Management in cooperation with ACM SIGBDP. The Third International Conference on Information Systems was held December 13-15, 1982, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with Alan G. Merten as chairman. Two papers from that conference have been published in recent issues, one by Ahmed S. Zaki in February and one by Margrethe H. Olson in March. They were concerned with the impact of information systems on organizations and society. The following three papers discuss new methodological approaches to the development and use of information systems. Abdel-Hamid and Madnick focus on the problem of estimating resource requirements and schedules for software development projects. They use System Dynamics, a tool for modeling systems consisting of multiple, interacting feedback loops, to explore this problem. Their results show that policies often built into the project management process can assure that projects will fail to meet their scheduled completion, regardless of the accuracy of resource requirement and project size estimates. Hart Will explores the idea of a single, unified interface to provide auditors with the access they need in today's computer-based accounting environment. Instead of the proliferation of audit software seen so far, he suggests that a common language for accessing data, programs, and text can be developed. He describes the design of such a language and speculates about its likely impact. Mason and Carey's paper is concerned with the area of information systems design. They present an Architecture-Based Methodology for prototyping interactive information systems, derived from an analogy to the architectural approach to designing buildings or other physical structures. They discuss both the special role of “architect” and the tools required to support this approach to system design, including one commercially available program product.

The article discusses the conference peer-review process and ways in which it can be improved. Because it has become impossible to distinguish valid research papers from hoaxes at jargon-filled high-technology computer conferences, the author suggests that the quality of computer science conferences is being questioned. He proposes a systematic understanding of quality assurance at computer conferences as a phenomenon that needs analysis and a solution with a look at responsibility and ethics among professionals.

Similarity search is a fundamental algorithmic primitive, widely used in many computer science disciplines. Given a set of points S and a radius parameter r > 0, the r-near neighbor (r-NN) problem asks for a data structure that, given any query point q, returns a point p within distance at most r from q. In this paper, we study the r-NN problem in the light of individual fairness and providing equal opportunities: all points that are within distance r from the query should have the same probability to be returned. The problem is of special interest in high dimensions, where Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH), the theoretically leading approach to similarity search, does not provide any fairness guarantee. In this work, we show that LSH-based algorithms can be made fair, without a significant loss in efficiency. We propose several efficient data structures for the exact and approximate variants of the fair NN problem. Our approach works more generally for sampling uniformly from a subcollection of sets of a given collection and can be used in a few other applications. We also carried out an experimental evaluation that highlights the inherent unfairness of existing NN data structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article by Lynn Yarbrough on Parallel Processing in the October Communications is interesting since it attracts attention to a subject which needs to be given increased consideration. His indictment of manufacturers for failing to provide what he feels is minimal to realizing the advantages of multi-programming is not applicable to STRETCH, however. It may be recalled that his specific complaint concerns the lack of protection of any program or monitor from the unpredictable actions of any other program. On page 15 of the STRETCH Data Processing System Reference Manual, we read: Address monitoring facilities are provided … The upper and lower boundaries of the storage area to be defined are placed in two address boundary registers. An alarm will be given when an address falls either inside or outside the defined area, whichever is desired. Storing in protected areas is normally suppressed.
